«When we arrived at the government - he claims - there were those who thought that the markets would collapse, that we would be isolated. Instead, things didn't go like this: the spread is at 182 points, the Stock Exchange did more than well ». The reason? «Our seriousness, the determination of this government that has no masters. We don't have to say thank you to anyone, we respond only to the Italian people, without necessary compromises, without slowness but quickly, with an underlying vision".

“We will do what needs to be done, with courage and determination. But I am interested - this is the gist of his speech - to know the economic data, the birth rate, productivity in 5 years. I promise my goal is to leave this country better than I found it ."

Finally, he confirmed that presidential reform "remains a priority, a commitment that will be honoured" .
